More Christmas... :)

Dad and Norma had us all over to their house for Christmas.  Dad made pierogies and we all had a great dinner and lots of fun opening gifts...it was especially fun watching the little guys open their gifts!

 

 

 

Christmas with the Hodge Family

Our first Christmas celebration was with the Hodge family.  Janet, Marshall, Michael, and Chelsea came to Houston for the Baptism and Christmas at our house.  We had a great time!  We are so glad they were all able to be here for Matthew's first Christmas.

The first of a few Christmas posts!

SANTA!!

We took Matthew to see Santa at our neighborhood Christmas party.  He doesn't look too thrilled in the photos but at least he isn't crying!

It was about 80 degrees outside that day...gotta love December in Houston :)

 

 

Time for CEREAL!

Matthew tried rice cereal for the first time on Christmas Eve.  He did really well and seemed to like it!  We'll call this a success and hope he continues to like all of the new foods he'll be trying soon :)

Baptism

We had Matthew baptized at St. Theresa Catholic Church on December 22nd.  We had lots of our family there and Fr. Rooney did a private baptism for us.  He did a wonderful job and made everything so personal.  It was such a special day and we really enjoyed celebrating our family and our little guy.  Matthew did great - no tears at all!  

Ben was such a good helper!
